• Release fuel pressure before disconnecting and disassembly.
• After disconnecting pipes, plug openings to stop fuel leakage.
Precaution for Removal and DisassemblyINFOID:0000000005885852
• When instructed to use special service tools, use the s pecified tools. Always be careful to work safely, avoid
forceful or uninstructed operations.
• Exercise maximum care to avoid damage to mating or sliding surfaces.
• Cover openings of engine system with tape or the equivalent, if necessary, to seal out foreign materials.
• Mark and arrange disassembly parts in an organi zed way for easy troubleshooting and assembly.
• When loosening nuts and bolts, as a basic rule, start with the one furthest outside, then the one diagonally opposite, and so on. If the order of loosening is specified, do exactly as specified. Power tools may be used
where noted in the step.
Precaution for Inspection, Repair and ReplacementINFOID:0000000005885853
Before repairing or replacing, thoroughly inspect parts. Inspect new replacement parts in the same way, and
replace if necessary.
Precaution for Assembly and InstallationINFOID:0000000005885854
• Use torque wrench to tighten bolts or nuts to specification.
• When tightening nuts and bolts, as a basic rule, equally tighten in several different steps starting with theones in center, then ones on inside and outside diagonally in this order. If the order of tightening is specified,
do exactly as specified.
• Replace with new gasket, packing, oil seal or O-ring.
• Thoroughly wash, clean, and air-blow each part. Carefully check engine oil or engine coolant passages for any restriction and blockage.
• Avoid damaging sliding or mating surfaces. Completely remove foreign materials such as cloth lint or dust. Before assembly, oil sliding surfaces well.
• Release air within route when refilling after draining engine coolant.
• Before starting engine, apply fuel pressure to fuel lines with turning ignition switch ON (with engine stopped). Then make sure that there are no leaks at fuel line connections.
• After repairing, start engine and increase engine s peed to check engine coolant, fuel, oil, and exhaust sys-
tems for leakage.

tive equipment to avo id getting burned.
6. Ream the cylinder head valve guide using suitable tool.
VALVE SEAT CONTACT
• After confirming that the dimensions of the valve guides and valves are within specifications, perform this procedure.
• Apply prussian blue (or white lead) onto the contacting surface of the valve seat to check the condition of the valve contact on the
surface.
• Check if the contact area band is continuous all around the circum- ference.
• If not, grind to adjust the valve fi t and check again. If the contacting
surface still has NG conditions even after the re-check, replace the
valve seat.
VALVE SEAT REPLACEMENT
When the valve seat is removed, replace it with oversized (0.5 mm, 0.020 in) valve seat.
1. Bore out the old seat until it collapses. Boring should not continue beyond the bottom face of the seat recess in the cylinder head. Set the machine depth stop to ensure this.
2. Ream the cylinder head recess diameter for service valve seat.
• Be sure to ream in circles concentric to the valve guide center.
• This will enable valve seat to fit correctly.

DESCRIPTION
*For the service parts, the grade for fitting cannot be selected between a piston pin and a connecting rod.
(Only 0 grade is available.) The information at the sh
ipment from the plant is described as a reference.
• The identification grade stamped on each part is the grade for the dimension measured in new condition.
This grade cannot apply to reused parts.
• For reused or repaired parts, measure the dimens ion accurately. Determine the grade by comparing the
measurement with the values of each selection table.
• For details of the measurement method of each part , the reuse standards, and the selection method of the
selective fitting parts, follow the applicable procedures.
HOW TO SELECT PISTON
Piston Selective Fitting When New Cylinder Block is Used:
• Check the cylinder bore grade on the bottom face of the cylinder
block, and select the piston of the same grade.
